Wow, I'm really getting down to it. Only 10 days till race day. I can't believe it's almost here. Less than a week till I get to Arizona. Two more considerable workouts and then, for all intents and purposes, I'm done. the next week really only consists of very short, easy workouts. basically keeping my body used to the sports, without any intensity or duration. I had a pretty crappy workout today unfortunately. Had a short 40 minute run where I just could not keep my heart rate down despite going incredibly slow. so about halfway through I just gave up on monitoring my heart rate and just started running. It still didn't feel all that hard, but my HR was pretty high. Maybe it was the wind and the cold, I dunno. Just lousy. I hope this weekends goes better than that. Should be perfect weather for it though. I have a 45 min swim/3 hour ride brick on saturday. I really don't feel like doing it, but what are ya gonna do. I'm done cycling workouts after that. Not a moment too soon either as my bike is really not running all that smoothly. Making a lot of clicking noises and it's very annoying. Probably just a matter of needing a tune and clean up. Hope anyway.
It's been quite a ride so far. It's almost over. I'm excited and nervous about race day. I've read a lot of stories about it and it really could go many different ways. However the 10 day forecast is calling for ideal weather. Upper 70's, no rain, no humidity. No mention of winds though, which is going to be the big thing. The race has been known for it's winds. So I'm really really hoping for a calm down. I think I'll be solid if the winds are calm, if they're not...gonna be a long bike ride.
